Discovery Education Videos for Education is the website I found most interesting. It is easy to use, has a plethora of information, and touches many subject areas. These include social studies, English, health, math, and research skills. It also includes languages, teaching practices, careers, and visual and performing arts. There are videos for various age groups broken down in increments: K-2, 3-5, 6-8, and 9-12.
There is a Teacher Center that lists curriculum resources and the one I found most interesting is the calendar that helps students connect the past and present with videos tied to historical events. In addition, a Lesson Plan Library taps into more than 200 lesson plans designed for Discovery Education streaming videos. The Discovery Atlas is an incredible resource! An interactive map provides thousands of videos from countries all over the world. When you click on the country, you can learn about the history, culture, government, and natural world of that particular country.
The Professional Development section has best practices videos of teachers to better instruction. This is an excellent site for all classroom teachers to not only use videos in their class, but helps them produce better videos.
